Please no Pay-or-Ok in Pocket

I love Firefox, and often click on suggestions from Pocket.
Lately it seems I mostly end up confronted with a Pay-or-OK banner.

I think it would fit to the spirit of the Mozilla foundation if Pay-or-OK sites are banned from Pocket.

I’ve just clickt a suggestion in Pocket
